wide ratio FS5W71B slipping out of 3rd & 4th
I had a problem with mine popping out of 5th and reverse after going to a 5sp. It was the shift rod hitting and not letting it go fully into gear. I ground some off where the nicks were and it's okay now.

COVID-19
I was reading about a new test they came up with that shows T cells? that was better than the previous test for antibodies. I, and a lot of other folks apparently, was horribly sick in February with what my doctor said was an upper respiratory infection at the time. Now I think it may have been some type of covid as do others. I'm anxious to get the new test done to see if I have built up immunities.

A rare parts department. That dealership should be reported to Nissan headquarters.

my cam looks terribly wiped!
If you have oil/gas mix your cylinder bores may look like your cam lobes. Hopefully not but if possible you should do a compression test.

I bought a 2.4 motor with e88 head and 3 screw SUs. When I removed the valve cover the smell of gas was strong. Oil pan was like a gas can. One of the carbs was flooding the head with fuel which mixed with the oil through the opening up front on the head. That may be what your's is doing? Is the the oil level high and thinner, smell gassy?

I'm sorry. That's per hose. Oh wow! I just saw that $54 was per hose too. Sorry again Charles. Cliff- saturday night music thread
I've stumbled/fumbled through life. In a good way. Literally bumped into to Bono and Edge, Ashley Judd on Bourbon Street after 9/11 bombing. The first big event after that attack. The Super Bowl. A few others too. I know the owner of Mango daiquiri bars and had access to the balconies. Funny story, I had a crowd stopped because they thought I was Matthew McConaughey with a ball cap on. The owner of the bars loved it! You have stories too I'm sure! Glad you are active in the forum. Cool guy I know. @Racer X also. Where you guys been all my life???? EDIT: I've Forrest Gumpped my way so far...it ain't done yet.- Don't buy this from Z Car Depot
I found my receipt and it was $20.07 in 2018, each. So $53 isn't as crazy as I thought.- saturday night music thread
We were walking around Atlanta one night and stumbled up on him at Chastain amphitheatre. Sold out show. Gave the guard at the gate $100, went in and saw the whole show except the introduction song. Myself and two others. Life story for sure. He talked as much as he sang. It was great! Lot of skunks around that arena apparently? Very strong pissers!- valve train components-78 280z
That tile looks familiar? Missing some stains though.- saturday night music thread
This gave me chill bumps. Perfect song, perfect timing.- COVID-19
I live either at the beginning or the end of the Appalachian Mountains, depends on where you standing. I like to think the beginning but s h i t does flow down so most likely the end. Add my train of thought, where I was going with my post. There's a lot of state parks and the like up here cheap and friendly so I bet they do get close. Cornbread and grits and all that other stuff nobody admits to like.- Don't buy this from Z Car Depot

I wonder how much money has been spent because that heating element went bad causing a replacement installed? Everyone I've ever heard of going bad was because of that.- Restoration Unveiled Today 08.17.2019
It was fun to talk about right after it happened. We were going around a sharp curve when the turbo spun up, the rear tires got off to the side in the grass then slid onto a cement driveway. Instant roll over. Busted some glass, beer cooler water and ice everywhere and we were laying on the roof (no seat belts back then, not cool). When the driver turned the ignition switch off fearing a possible fire Betty reminded us the lights were still on. I ran off and left my buddy with the ZX full of beer. We were in high school. - Don't buy this from Z Car Depot
